Food Lion only had sixers of 16oz tallboys.
I gotta admit, I'm actually very surprised. These are going down smooth AF. I might shoulda picked up more.
I'm covered, though. In a fit of nostalgia for the '70's & '80's, I picked up a sixer of Coors in the old barrel shaped bottles.
FWIW, I'm a 'beer snob/nerd'. I love rip yer face off IPAs, Imperial IPAs, Imperial Stouts & knock you stupid Barleywines, you name it. All that high-test, in yer face microbrew is my 'thing'. A childhood friend of an Austrian buddy owns the oldest, still extant brewery in Austria. Founded in 1229. I've gotten the friends & family tour of their 600 y/o cellars & drank beer from the bucket, fresh out of the tanks. Peter's such a hard-core beer nerd that he studied/became a beer sommelier & keeps an IMPRESSIVE private cellar. I mean, I'm really, really into beer & the Hamms really holds its own. Seriously, I'd put it alongside the original Czech Budvar. Big flavor, not heavy, just right. Perfect beer for throwin' hay or runnin' trot-lines for catfish.
That said, I hate what 'American beer' has become. Back in the day, when a bunch of German, Polish & Czech families were brewing beer instead of today's mega corporations, American beer had flavor. Schlitz, PBR, Coors, Bud, Hamms, etc. all had their own flavor & vibe going on & actually tasted like beer, versus most of the fermented rice water being cranked out now. Europe ruined me for 'American beer' until the microbrew thing took off here. So many countries there have very proud brewing traditions & 99% of the beer you'll encounter will be local & very fresh. Hungarians have a wicked, doppelbock-ish dark beer & Romania has had a huge German minority for centuries & brews some incredible beers.
Nice to see an old school American brewery still doin' it right.
